About RTI

Response to Intervention (RTI) is a model for providing support, instruction and assessment for learners at all ability levels across academic areas like reading, including phonics, comprehension, and vocabulary.

A multi-tiered delivery model unifies district resources to support learning.

RTI emphasizes a process of providing services and supports to struggling students through assessing and monitoring, providing access to high-quality instruction and interventions, and continued measurement to help guide future instruction.

The RTI Model

Following the administration of a screening for assessment, scores are analyzed so that students can be grouped into categories based on intervention needs:

TIER 1

Core intervention, typically appropriate for 80% of the student population

TIER2

Targeted intervention, where 15% of the students will be placed

TIER 3

Intensive intervention, required for approximately 5% of the student population

Differentiated instruction and curriculum programs designed to best meet students' needs are then introduced along with frequent progress monitoring. Consistently checking progress ensures that goals and expectations are clear and allows educators to adapt instructional practice as needed based on student performance results.
